I'm finding it difficult to keep this blog on my website up to date. So if you're interested in seeing what I'm up to, follow me on my Substack called Nature.Words . This is where I write about my writing and teaching, provide writing tips and list competitions that you might be interested in entering. Please join me at  Nature.Words .

If you enter your short story into a competition, you have a chance of winning, right? And if you don’t enter, you've got no chance....
